This richly-illustrated, four-color textbook introduces the art and archaeology of ancient Greece, from the Bronze Age through the Roman conquest. Students are led to a rich understanding of how objects were meant to be perceived, what 'messages' they transmitted, and how the surrounding environment shaped their meaning. Suitable for students with no prior knowledge of ancient art, this textbook reviews the main objects and monuments of the ancient Greek world, emphasizing the context and function of these artefacts in their particular place and time.
Judith Barringer examines a variety of media, including marble and bronze sculpture, public and domestic architecture, painted vases, coins, mosaics, terracotta figurines, reliefs, jewelry and wall paintings. The book includes more than 500 illustrations (with over 400 in color), including specially-commissioned photographs, maps, floorplans and reconstructions. Numerous text boxes, chapter summaries and timelines, complemented by a detailed glossary, support student learning.
